bridge blocking

[LostKnight]

OHHHH! I do so love brainstorming.

I disagree: You do the crime, you do the time!

None of this; so the rich walk free! Sad enough it happens in Real Life.

No parole and no bribes, no time off for good behaviour as there is nothing bad to do while waiting.

Waiting on the Fishing NPC:

1st Offence: 15 minutes
2nd Offence: 45 minutes
3rd Offence: Jail - goodbye

OR:

Fight the "level related NPC", but make it tough, and beat him to allow one other NPC to pass.
You must repeat the process to allow 30 NPCs to pass

If you die, 1 more is added to the NPCs that want to pass.

My case would be like: There are now 73 NPC's waiting to pass...

I actually HAVE been to the hedge maze (voluntarily). The exit isn't NEARLY as simple as most in this thread think, simply because they aren't typically the type to get sent there. Lol.
As it is, i can say that it took me 3 hours of walking around the maze to find the exit, and i had the advantage of a device with a much larger zoom than the current mechanics allows. Those players foolish enough to get sent there for such small things as blocking bridges are in for a rough time of it.

On a side note, can main accts of blockers be sent there as well, similar to other offenses? Asking for a friend...

Oooh very nice idea. A team of alts at hedge maze. Like it.

Or instead of the "alt"

i like these ideas

Here's an easy solution (in my non programming head):

When you walk onto a bridge - any bridge in the game - you can spend 1 -2(?) minutes there before automatically being sent to the green maze.

No GM involvement. A game feature.

Pardon me for taking a serious problem and making a joke about it. I thought I sensed a bit of levity in the previous suggestions. It is as many of the problems in FT that deserve a severe penalty to encourage thoughtfulness where it is not willingly given. Thank you GM team for making the effort and forum members for making good suggestions to fine tune a proper response.

Too long, 30 seconds MAX!

They block with pets too!
bold yellow mine: GREAT IDEA!

Somewhere along the line in another thread I suggested jail time.
That did not go over well.

So brainstorming ideas in a humorous way that just might lead to something that "bridge blockers" will really NOT like!


I'd still like to see Jail ... 1 week then 2 then something a little more permanent

Would it make things better or worse to permanently build about 10 bridges? Or no bridges on the map!
